You need to tell us what model year or generation so we can direct you to the right section of the forum.

Welcome!
Oh oh, were the brakes hot when you set the e-brake? If that's the case, they will "usually" release after things cool down. Good luck!

Well I feel silly and stupid, but I reset the E-brake stepped opn the brake pedal and released. Problem fixed! By the way it is a C4 1989 corvette with Calloway effects. Paxton super charger. It's fun but my baby is our C3 1978 Indy Pace Car.
